Baby whites overeating

[lraulston]

So, I am a terrible frog Mom. I got a new baby White's tree frog about a month ago or so. He is a little thing, maybe an inch. I was feeding him last night and had given him a few small crickets. I was going to give him a few more because I am going out of town tomorrow, but I was lazy, so I just tapped some off an egg crate since I had dusted his previous ones. Well, I dumped a lot in there. Like more than 10. I figured some would hide and he would find them the next night. Nope. He ate them all. Quickly. Can a baby White's die or become ill from eating too much at a time? I've always gotten juvenile or older frogs and never had that issue. he was a little lumpy. He was fine this morning and afternoon, sleeping as usual. Should I be worried? Or when can I stop worrying? Not sure how fast they digest. He is on paper towels so I can find his "frog logs" easy. Thanks guys and God bless.

Well, over 40 hours later and he seems fine.

They will definitely put away a meal and more if you let them.

I don't think they can die from overeating. That said, they will pig out when given a chance, as you've clearly discovered So the occasional buffet aside, you'd want to ration their meals to keep them from getting overweight, as it can shorten their lifespan. It also makes them appear even dumpier than usual.
